These pedals were purchased for a spinning bike. They are a really good value for the price; sturdy and i like the dual sided entry. They were very easy to install and they came with nice cleats,too. The cleats were also easy to install.I definitely recommend this product. I would put them on a mountain bike if I had one.

After much consideration, I purchased these for my roadbike. If you are considering getting SPD clipless pedals for the first time, you should consider these. As far as clipless pedals go these are on the large side. But that relative "large" size and they're being double-sided is a BIG plus for me as they are always in the ready position and I don't fumble looking for the engagement clip. I am so happy I went clipless as my pedaling efficiency is greatly improved and the ability to use a more circular pedaling motion has reduced my knee pain to practically zero. Getting used to clipless style pedals with these took one 15 minute training session where I learned I had to rearrange the clips on the shoe to facilitate disengagement. Now, I feel like I've been using them for years

Great Pedals! I have two pair of these pedals (one on each bike) and I Love them. I am fairly hard on my biking gear and these pedals have held up great to everything that I have put them through. Some people don't like the metal cage around the pedals because of the weight. I don't mind the weight because the pedals last a lot longer and slide over rocks if you hit them. Also the SPD system is great to learn on for first time clipless riders.

The wide platform on the pedal is especially good for the more flexible commuter type SPD shoes. My shoe only flexes a little bit before contacting the platform, and as a result power transfer is greatly improved over smaller SPD pedals. For rigid race-type shoes, Id probably seek out a lighter-weight double sided pedal without the wider platform.

This my first set of clipless, I really like the fact that clips on both sides, so is easy to get use to it. About the paint chiping so easy, I can deal with it, because if it doesn't show scratches, it means you are not having fun out there.
